I'm still not entirely sure if the ants I found are queens but I'm hoping they are, and I wish I can find out what type they and as of now I'm thinking they are carpenter ants/Camponotus
-Collected and found on 4/4/22
-Found in a Large Park full of tree's, plants, and flowers, more specifically found around a tree full of what I suspect are carpenter ants
-Length is nearly half an inch
-Very Dark Red Head nearly black, orangish red thorax, solid black gaster
-Has a small black section at the back end of the thorax, with another smaller spot of darker orange black at the front end of the thorax
-Found this (what I assume is a queen) around a tree and on a tree with other ants running along it, living tree
-Didn't witness a nuptial flight or any queens/ants with wings
-Noticed ants especially killing ants exactly like the ones I found, if that's of use
Sorry for the poor quality photos
